dialogue the president said and so awesome dialogue with the opposition forces ahmed el baradei one of the leader of the not starvation front said he would engage in dialogue on the condition that they would be the day the government would be to resign and national salvation government would take over and the constitution would be revoked the president himself has said he will not this in c. these said preconditions we do see this you see this kind of happening any time in the future so we expect the violence in the streets the protests across the country in the coming weeks reporter culture in cairo the activists and journalists who can chandan he says the developments in egypt show that ultimately the end of the day no one is manning the helm anymore egypt has been totally destabilized and remember the egyptian government is waiting for what the egyptians called the loan from sunday look there's a protest is a popular protest song about the world bank moment to egypt and all the west i'm newspapers some analysts that say. well egypt's not going to get back alone if this
8:04 am
is the destabilisation that is visiting the country but the thing is who can control things in egypt now a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab sting for nato has been the fear has gone but perhaps the fear has gone by along with the fear so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really can anyone control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty author of the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know really said that more can control anything in egypt are currently you can always check arteries twitter feed for the latest on what's going on right now in cairo a bell true the reporter we saw just a bit earlier she is also posting her own updates and still to come on the program here on our alleged atrocities by the army in mali had raises a few eyebrows at the u.n.

and casts a shadow on what some see as the french leaders crusade a visit to the north african state. plus the justification of terrorism while waging war on terror russia's top diplomat hints that the inconsistency of the west's approach could be behind the deadlock in syria's bloody standoff. for now though america's forces in afghanistan are may have been running on iranian oil it's now emerged in this possibly in clear violation of washington's own fuel embargo against the islamic state at the pentagon has admitted it cannot vouch for the source of years worth of fuel due to a complicated supply system is guy nature can fix up the story. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it probably did come

from the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions they're violating us taxpayer dollars go to remain coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have you reins oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust demand from its
8:07 am
top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allowed the way in to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying there prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so so many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else i was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the us calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to the sanctions but the whole world which is of course
8:08 am
creating more tension. sanctions violations all the rhetoric as well surrounding iran are proving a great creative fuel for our websites you can see some of them right here. down from paper and pen as well with other themes that are calm you can find them in the online exclusive such. is the. this is not the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has highlighted what he sees
8:09 am
as double standards when it comes to the our revolutions on the syrian crisis in particular addressing a major international security forum in munich he said that if the world community had stuck to its original agreements and the civil war in syria would not have spiraled into such a state of mayhem. as details the only belying theme of speech was a few cheap. foreign partners furthering discussion however it was certainly not all sweetness and light from the russian foreign minister one of those questions that he said russia wanted to put to the western partners was how could the west justify their quest for regime change in certain countries while turning a blind eye to acts of terror now this is just one of many times he either alluded to or mentioned by name the conflict in syria it's all. acts of terror committed by the opposition troops opposition forces within syria there against the the army
8:10 am
against. civilians now he also went on to ask the question of who decides which state is a candidate for regime change it seems that some are whereas some aren't looking at the ongoing situation in syria where it's been deemed that bashar al assad must step aside by foreign powers not once again reiterated today by the united states vice president joe biden in his address here in munich where is some states aren't considered candidates thinking more about the gulf monarchies where we've also seen protests and public uprising and their foreign minister lavrov spoke directly to those western powers when he talked about furthering international discussion saying that if well they kept their promises to speak to all sides in the syrian conflict that not conflict could well be over by now although your images from the munich conference which you were just saw there were actually brought to you by the

newest member of the r.t. family of germany various international video news agency called ruptly. well reports of extra do killings by the million army have escalated all the way to the un the blocks anti genocide and force says he is deeply concerned that claims by activists that the army which is largely backed by french troops is committing ethnic reprisal attacks and other atrocities and this comes as francois hollande is on a visit to the north african country and for his forces are fighting islamic radicals a strasberg a base journalist a robot harness believes the french president's simply trying to score cheap political points with the trip. he may regard this is a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there now british troops coming in there talking about eight thousand african troops it's not going to be further out i may say the
8:12 am
french are very reluctant to approach the algerian from here too closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history with. bitterness civil war i think this may well be the last chance on house to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation. it's good to have you with us here now to today britain is removing the welcome sign from its doors the government fears the flow of migrants into the country might skyrocket growth or abuse thing that promoting the u.k. as a great destination may have gone just a bit too far out is pretty boy has more as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the position certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump
8:13 am
and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania i'm from bol garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people see us that sort of as quite farcical the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and you know some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians and for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k.
8:14 am
yuk and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. that feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. auntie's political reporting there and as a person is highlighting all the downsides of living that romania has launched its own p.r. campaign beautiful women that look like kate middleton cheap booze as well will appear in the list of the main unfounded years of living that is what a collection of the posters. called. coming up later this hour on the program the hatred and racism in the israeli football league takes

syria and in other parts of the region so you have well armed well clear trained terrorists on the border region with turkey and syria probably now inside turkey so i think this is very bad news is obviously great opposition inside turkey and i think the the president other prime minister is behaving foolish to i actually have this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermining his own country and his own security. jerusalem football team whose fans are now in for chanting racist anti arab slogans assigned to muslims for the first time a supporters openly disappointed at the move which some say is light welcoming in the enemy on his policy reports on the boiling anger that's never far from spilling over. the games in there but the actions out here the israeli football team they told us of them is making headlines not for what it does on the pitch but
